and rustic red.
After some Craig's List hunting, sanding, painting, distressing, and sealing, she got her hutch!
Well, except that it's still in my garage :/ But there it is, mom! Hope you like it. I guess I should get it to you soon so you could get some use out of it.
I learned a few lessons along the way.
1) Red spray paint gets everywhere. Even with a drop cloth, it turned our garage floor red and I tracked a few steps on our carpet.
2) Red spray paint does not come off your skin easily. I looked sun burnt for a few days.
3) Red spray paint does NOT belong on jewelery. But nail polish remover and a tooth brush work well for that!

Hi Margaret,
Thanks for your comment on my blog. If you ever need help with your photography I can at least point you in the direction of help.
I love what you did to this hutch! Have you heard of Annie Sloan's Chalk Paint? It is the latest craze in the furniture painting world. It is expensive: $35 a quart but you do NOT have to sand or prime before using it. It is not messy either and cleans up with water.
I have also ordered Milk paint called Safe Paint. It is only $10.50 a bag to mix with water making a quart. You can google everything to check it out. Good luck!
